Strontium ion can significantly decrease enamel demineralization and prevent the enamel surface hardness loss in acidic environment

Background/purpose: Strontium ion may play a role similar to calcium ion in enamel remineralization. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of strontium ion concentration gradient on the demineralization of enamel. Methods: Citric acid and sodium citrate were used to prepare 16 differen...
